I want the story behind the dumbass who thought it was a good idea to take the HMS Bounty into this thing.
My move to Illinois now seems prescient. :o

You obviously didn't see who started the thread :D
Or realised what community I'd logged into :D
The opening to I Am Legend, or hurricane Sandy?
More like, Hurricane Sandy Vagina, amirite?
Orlando is nice and cool! (For Orlando).
Ground Zero

I am sure Japan will borrow you some helpers so that you can fix that in a few days rather than months.
US doesn't accept help quickly, IIRC they stalled Dutch help after Katrina and the Gulf spill for quite some time.Quote:

42 pictures from the aftermath. Wonder how many of those taxis are going to end up going south to used car lots :(
100 homes lost in a neighborhood from fire...:(
This is simply to perfect
Darren Aronofsky's Noah Delayed Due to Flooding
Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, The Wrestler) has been filming his "Noah" film, based on the Biblical tale of Noah's Ark, at Oyster Bay, NY. To make it as realistic as possible, the director built a massive ark, which measures 450 feet long, 75 feet tall and 45 feet wide. Unfortunately, it was never meant to be sailed.
With production wrapping up within the next few weeks, the ark was forced to deal with flooding as Hurricane Sandy passed through Oyster Bay. Emma Watson, one of the actresses on the film, pointed out the irony of flooding being the cause of problems for the production.
It's not clear how much damage was done to the set, but there's a good chance that some repairs will have to be made. During the delay, Aronofsky wrote that he took the time to catch up on some movies, seeing "Cloud Atlas" and "The Master."
Brooklyn Battery Tunnel flooded all the way to the ceiling.
and a flooded subway station
Best footage I've seen so far of the early speed and volume of water
That's pretty good. :up:
Good thing they didn't require rescue during the incedent. :donkey:
Surely some tech geeks mounted waterproof cameras on flotation devices, to follow the water in real time. That'd be cool to see. I've been wondering where the coverage is about homeless folks, and if/how they managed to get them to shelters before the flooding :bulb:
Well played, sir.Quote:

Shame you're not getting back your hockey team. :o

We just had no electricity, heat, or hot water, so not terrible. More annoying not being able to get work done. Had plenty of LED flashlights to use for light, and we cooked everything on our gas stove. Late Tuesday our neighbor came back with a generator and ran a line to our refrigerator so we only occasionally had to worry about food spoilage. The location I work at is still without power, so I don't really have to worry about the gas shortage yet. It was back to eating when food was prepared, reading books, playing boardgames, and listening to the radio (hand crank powered). Pretty much camping inside a house.Quote:

Sounds like how we handle these in Florida :up:, except its hot as all fucking hell inside the house.
Glad to hear you had a gas stove and could at least cook food before it spoiled. I stocked up on ice and put it in the fridge like it was a big ass cooler. That only works for about 3 days, though. Our cooking was limited to charcoal grilling outside. Propane tanks for grills ran out pretty fast.
Sounds like the game we play around here: Would you rather try to stay alive when it's hot as hell, or when it's below freezing?Quote:

Low temperatures can be fixed with the relatively low tech blanket, or clothing. Not warm enough? Use more blankets/clothing. Too hot? Use less blankets/clothing.Quote:
